Obsidian for web

Most likely it would, unless your company has absolutely no data classification scheme nor rules about where can information about company or client can be stored, both in terms of contracts between your company and their clients or local regulation that might apply to them.

Obsidian being local and storing data on my computer is the sole reason I can use it in a professional context.

I think most corporate restrictions are not so much about data. Data exfiltration can get managed based on volume of traffic, or it will be relatively small data movements that will not be as valuable.

At my company the limitations are more about installing software which may or may not have backdoors and other such things which create bigger problems. Webapps resolve that by sandboxing everything within the browser, and limiting free, full access to the hard drive.

Are there any plans for this? Paying for Obsidian Sync, the service already has all the notes on the back-end anyway. I would expect it to let me at least view the notes from the browser. This is the only missing thing for me, otherwise Obsidian is better than anything else Iā€™ve used.

The service does not house notes on Obsidian servers - it only syncs between our own individual storage devices.

Iā€™m always, always for such apps to have a web version. Itā€™s the ultimate ā€œcross-platformā€ solution. I used to be a fan of Bear notes back in the day, and they had overwhelmingly high requests for a web version, which they later launched.

I stopped using Bear for unrelated reasons. But Iā€™d vote 100% for an Obsidian web version.

Huh? Literally the first line says Obsidian Sync is an add-on service that allows you to store your notes on Obsidian's servers and sync them across your devices privately.:

This isnā€™t correct. Yes, the data is stored on their servers. Including for 30 days after your Sync subscription expires.

(Not that it means sharing this data to the web wouldnā€™t have security implications.)
